About This Podcast
Two friends, Ari and Katherine, are your average yogurt-consumers. One day they wondered: How’s yogurt made? In a humorous, science–for–non-scientists podcast, the pair explores the world of microbes, from the unique microbiome environment in our stomach to the creation of fermented food.
Podcaster Bios
Katherine’s favorite yogurt growing up was Yoplait whipped strawberry. However, she is now lactose-intolerant (sad), but like any other lactose-intolerant, she still makes a routine sacrifice for cheese.
Ari secretly doesn’t really like yogurt (I mean it’s okay, I’m not obsessed with it), yet here he is creating a podcast about yogurt. In his free time Ari enjoys going home and eating Captain Crunch cereal when he told his friends he’s “Omw!”
Why podcast?
Why make a podcast? Well, chances are you’ve taken over 12+ language classes. Youth voices are vital in the exchange of free speech and is a powerful storytelling experience, yet almost none of the typically assigned research papers or short narratives written by students see the light of day past their teacher’s desk. Podcasts are an appealing medium to a diverse community and easily accessible. The podcast project was a challenge to style and organize sound and word. The payoff? A product suited to truly have our voices heard by a real-life audience.
Stylistic-wise, we were inspired by Buzzfeed: Unsolved hosted by Shane Madej and Ryan Bergara. They juxtapose formal delivery of factual information to breaks of humorous improv creating a colorful contrast to the murderous, horror story they are presenting.
